The Metropolitan Police has carried out an internal investigation into five of its Royalty and Specialist Protection officers following allegations of misogynistic behaviour.
The allegations reportedly stem from an official complaint filed in October 2024 by a staff member at Kensington Palace.
According to The Sun, the female staff member reported a string of “inappropriate” comments between August 2023 and September 2024.
A Met spokesperson said in a statement: “The reported behaviour falls below the high standards expected of officers, particularly those in frontline protective roles.
“As a result of our internal investigation into this matter, the officers received reflective practice to consider their actions and identify learning for the future.
“It remains a priority for the Met to ensure all officers and staff uphold the highest standards of professionalism, so we can continue to build trust and confidence with those we serve.”
It is understood that the behaviour of the officers was not found to meet the threshold for misconduct.
However, The Sun reports senior Royal Household staff decided to stop them from working at any palaces in the future by removing their access passes.
